[Music]

Okay, you've got questions. Yeah. Where

are we going?

Crime scene next.

Who are you? What do you do? What do you

think? I'd say private detective. But

but the police don't go to private

detectives.

I'm a consulting detective. The only one

in the world that invented the job. What

does that mean? Means when the police

are out of their depth, which is always

they consult me. The police don't

consult amateurs.

When I met you for the first time

yesterday, I said Afghanistan or Iraq.

You looked surprised. Yes. How did you

know? I didn't know. I saw

your haircut. The way you hold yourself

says military. But your conversation as

you entered the room bit different from

my day. Said trained at Bart. So, army

doctor obviously

is tanned but no tan above the wrists.

You've been abroad but not sunbathing.

Your lips really bad but you walk but

you don't ask for a chair when you stand

like you've forgotten about it. So, it's

at least partly psychosmatic. That says

the original circumstances of the injury

were traumatic. Wounded in action then

wounded in action. Santan Afghanistan or

Iraq.

You said I had a therapist. Got a

psychosmatic limp. Of course, you've got

a therapist. Then there's your brother.

your phone. It's expensive email enabled

MP3 player. You're looking for a flat

share. You wouldn't waste money on this.

It's a gift. Scratch is not one over

time. It's been in the same pocket as

keys and coins. Many next wouldn't treat

his one luxury item like this. So, it's

had a previous owner. Next bit's easy.

You know it already. The engraving.

Harry Watson. Clearly a family member

who's given you his old phone. Not your

father. This is a young man's gadget.

Could be a cousin, but you're a war hero

who can't find a place to live. Unlikely

you've got an extended family. Certainly

not one you're close to. So brother it

is now Claraara. Who's Claraara? Three

kisses says there's a romantic

attachment. It spent on the phone says

wife not girlfriend. She must have given

it to him recently. This model's only 6

months old. Marriage in trouble then. 6

months old. He's just given it away. If

she'd left him, he would have kept it.

People do sent him. But no, he wanted

rid of it. He left her. He gave the

phone to you. That says he wants you to

stay in touch. You're looking for cheap

accommodation and you're not going to

your brother for help. It says you got

problems with him. Maybe you liked his

wife. Maybe you don't like his drinking.

How can you possibly know about the

drinking? Shot in the dark. Good one,

though. Power connection. Tiny little

scuff marks around the edge of it. Every

night goes to plug it in to charge, but

his hands are shaking. You never see

those marks on a soberman's phone. Never

see a drunks without them. There you go.

You see, you were right. I was right.

Right about what? The police don't

consult amateurs.

That

was amazing.

You think so? Of course it was. It was

extraordinary. It was quite

extraordinary. So what do people

normally say? What do people normally

say? Piss off.
